WHAT WE DO
we explore the link between storytelling and revolutionary empathy.
IN PURSUIT OF REVOLUTIONARY EMPATHY
Revolutionary empathy transcends traditional empathy. It involves actively advocating for the well-being of others, speaking up against injustice, and fostering an inclusive and equitable world. Revolutionary empathy challenges the status quo and promotes systemic change.
HOW WE DO IT
We research and explore. Then we iterate and play with ways to make stories and ways to share them, teasing out the factors that are the most likely to create change in the storytellers and in the audience. We are currently playing in these story spaces: documentaries, fiction films, theatre, podcasts, oral storytelling, and weaving story into tools like petitions and scholarship.
